Bloodline of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 178
"I came here to meet the King of Youzhou in order to solve the doubts in my heart." Zhang Xiu said to Liu Long straightforwardly.

"Let me guess what you want to know, it should be why I let Lu Bu go." Liu Long still smiled and said to Zhang Xiu.

"This is just my first doubt. I don't know if Wang Fang of Youzhou can give me an answer." Zhang Xiu asked.

"As for why I let Lu Bu go, that's an easy answer, that is, he has more money alive than dead. For me, of course he will survive." Liu Long said vaguely.

Although Liu Long didn't say it clearly, Zhang Xiu could hear the meaning of Liu Long's words.That is, Lu Bu is likely to do something beneficial to Liu Long.After Zhang Xiu nodded, he asked again: "Then why did the King of Youzhou not attack Hulao Pass while besieging it?"

"This Hulao Pass is Luoyang's barrier. Although the defenders are several times smaller than our coalition forces. But if you want to forcibly seize the pass, you will have to pay a huge price. Why don't you wait until you abandon the pass before taking it?" .” Liu Long said.

"It's so difficult that the king of Youzhou doesn't know the truth about the speed of soldiers. If the coalition forces are dragged at the Hulao Pass, then Dong Zhuo will have time to make further arrangements. It is estimated that it will be bad for the coalition forces. Then you, the leader of the coalition forces But it is hard to escape the blame." Although Zhang Xiu did not directly say that Dong Zhuo would force the young emperor to move the capital.But it also conveyed an important message to Liu Long.But this news is of little value to Liu Long.

"Look at the princes from all walks of life. Are they so difficult that they really want to rescue the young emperor?" Liu Long pointed to the princes who were directing soldiers to attack Hulao Pass.

"I understand what King Youzhou means. Then let me ask the last question. Who did you learn from? Why do I have a familiar feeling with you? And who is Zhao Yun who passed the tribulation a few days ago." Zhang Xiu finally asked the topic that he was most concerned about.

"Actually, this is the reason why you came here. You have to find the answer yourself." After speaking, Liu Long attacked Zhang Xiu.What Liu Long used was the Hundred Birds Chaofeng Spear, which made Zhang Xiu very happy.

Zhang Xiu secretly said: "Sure enough, it's exactly as I guessed, and he is indeed a disciple of my mentor." Zhang Xiu and Liu Long respectively unfurled their Hundred Birds and Phoenix Spears, and started to fight on the battlefield.Although they are all shooting phoenix spears, Zhang Xiu cannot compare with Liu Long.Zhang Xiu is much lower than Liu Long in terms of realm and combat skills.

"You don't have to keep your hands, let me test your martial arts for the master." Liu Long's Heaven, Earth Ghost and God Slash attacked Zhang Xiu even more fiercely.Zhang Xiu also let go of Gu Gu, and began to fight Liu Long for his life.Zhang Xiu knew that she couldn't hurt Liu Long at all, and Liu Long wouldn't hurt herself.

There is still fighting in the direction of Hulaoguan, but it can be seen that the offensive of the coalition forces is not as sharp as it was at the beginning.After all, the Youzhou army has begun to slowly withdraw from the battlefield.The princes from all walks of life were not fools either. As soon as they saw the retreat of the Youzhou army, they also issued an order to stop the attack.

The offensive and defensive battle at Hulao Pass was considered to have come to an end, but the battle between Liu Long and Zhang Xiu became more and more intense.Although Liu Long didn't kill him, his cultivation base was higher than Zhang Xiu's after all.Liu Long is in the early stage of Earth Immortal. Although he has just been promoted, it is not comparable to Zhang Xiu, who is gifted in the late stage.

"Youzhou King's martial arts skills are admired by me. I was defeated. As for killing or cutting, I will do as I wish." Zhang Xiu said in front of the princes from all walks of life.It turned out that after the coalition forces stopped attacking Hulao Pass, they discovered the battle between Liu Long and Zhang Xiu, and immediately surrounded them.When they saw that the moves of the two were exactly the same, they thought that there must be some relationship between the two, and the biggest possibility was that the two were apprentices of the same teacher.

"Brother Zhang Xiu is too humble. According to the rules of the school, I am your junior. You and I are the same disciple of Tong Yuan, the Penglai Spear God Sanren. Why should I shout at you? But I hope you can go back and persuade you Uncle, Kaesong surrenders. Come with me to attack Dong Zhuo." Liu Long said to Zhang Xiu.

Of course, the princes of all walks of life heard Liu Long's words. They only knew that Liu Long was a disciple of the great Confucian Cai Yong.He didn't expect Liu Long to be a disciple of Tong Yuan, the Penglai Spear God Sanren, so that can explain why Liu Long has such force.Who is Tong Yuan? That's a generation of spear masters.It is possible for him to teach any kind of disciple.At this moment, everyone in the world knows that Liu Long is Tong Yuan's disciple.

"Then I will trust you. I will definitely bring what my junior brother said to my uncle. But as for whether my uncle will agree, I dare not say. After all, my uncle's family is in Dong Zhuo's hands." Zhang Xiu said to Liu Long.

"You can bring a message to your uncle, just say that his family is already in my hands. Soon the Guard Lie Yan will take them to Hulao Pass." Liu Long's words are really amazing.Even the princes from all walks of life did not expect that Liu Long would plan things so carefully.Originally, they just thought that Dian Wei led Lie Yan, the guard, to chase Bingzhou Wolf Rider.But I didn't expect that it was to arrest Zhang Ji's family members.

In fact, it was impossible for Jinwei Lieyan to arrest Zhang Ji's family members. Zhang Ji's family members were secretly brought by Liu Long arranged by the Linghu Temple. They also bypassed Hulao Pass through a small road.Then they were handed over to Dian Wei.Now Dian Wei is also on his way to Hulao Pass with them.

Why did Liu Long arouse the satisfaction of Zhang Ji's family?The reason is that Liu Long didn't expect that Zhang Xiu would go out of the city to see him, which can be regarded as a mistake.According to Liu Long's original idea, he relied on Zhang Ji's family members to let Zhang Ji donate Hulaoguan. As for whether he can take it for his own use, that's another story.After all, their uncle and nephew were already in their hands at that time.

"Then I'll go and talk to my uncle right now, I guess my uncle will understand the righteousness." Zhang Xiu said and returned to Hulao Pass with her own troops.Liu Long also returned to the camp with the coalition forces, waiting for news from Zhang Xiu.

In fact, this was just Liu Long's plan to delay the attack. Liu Long wanted to leave enough time for Dong Zhuo.Otherwise, if Dong Zhuo hadn't moved the capital, the historical trend would have changed a lot.Although the current Three Kingdoms has deviated from history, it is only in small details, and there is still no change in major events.

Not to mention Zhang Xiu's return to Hulao Pass to discuss with Zhang Ji, nor to the arrangement of the coalition forces after they returned to camp.Just talking about Zhao Yun, at this time Zhao Yun is no longer pretending to attack Hulao, but is heading towards Chang'an with Dong Zhuo's family.According to Liu Long's account, as long as Dong Zhuo did not burn Luoyang, Zhao Yun would send Dong Zhuo's family to the city of Chang'an.On the contrary, what will be sent to Chang'an will be corpses from all over the place.However, Liu Long believes that Dong Zhuo will not burn Luoyang under Li Ru's persuasion, which means that Dong Zhuo will definitely see his living relatives in Zhao Yun's hands.
